i. The amount of EUR 376 billion for Cohesion policy, as proposed by the Commission in its proposal for a regulation laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2014-2020, should be considered as a minimum sound level of funding and should, therefore, constitute a red line in the future negotiation position of the Parliament.
